THURSDAY OCTOBER 10
DRC I AUDITORIUM
4:00 PM
On behalf of the UNMC leadership and UNeMed staff, we welcome you to the
2013 UNeMed Innovation Awards, which recognize the significant and ongoing innovations of the UNMC faculty, staff, and students.
UNeMeds mission is simple to articulate: We are here to help improve healthcare
by fostering innovation, advancing biomedical research and engaging entrepreneurs
and industry to commercialize novel technologies. Innovations all have the same
humble beginning: an idea or hypothesis. The path for an idea to become a product
that improves the lives of millions is a daunting and perilous journey fraught with
many obstacles. That is why UNeMed exists. We are here to help provide the advice,
pathways and connections for your idea to grow and make the world a better place.
The Innovation Awards represent the culmination of Innovation Week as we celebrate the creators of novel technology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
Today we will recognize the inventors who have submitted new inventions, received
issued U.S. patents, and successfully licensed technology. In addition, today we will
look to the future by recognizing new technology with strong potential, and honor Dr.
Howard Gendelman with the 2013 UNeMed Innovator of the Year Award.
The UNeMed staff is committed to helping you develop your new inventions and
make vital connections with industry. Please draw upon our expertise, and visit us
at 4460 Farnam Street (Annex 14 on the Campus map) or in our satellite office at
1007 Durham Research Center I. Our goal is to help you create relationships that
will enable your work to positively impact the lives of people throughout Nebraska
and around the world.
Sincerely,
